EARLY PROPRIETARY. 

The history of the town of Peterborough begins with 
the granting of the township to Samuel Heywood and fifty- 
nine others, by act of the General Court of Massachusetts, 
Dec. 8, 1737, and which became a law when Gov. Belcher 
affixed his signature, Jan. 16, 1738, As early as 1721 a few 
of these petitioners had received the grant of a township, 
and several other attempts had been made by them but the 
first attempt was thwarted bj"" the Indian wars, and later 
attempts lacked legislation. 

By the Act of 1737 a grant of a township six miles 
square was made in the northern part of Massachusetts (as 
was supposed) in any locality, providing only that it should 
not encroach upon any former grant. The location seems 
to have been selected by Joseph Wilder, surveyor, and Jo- 
seph Richardson and Zacheus Lovell, chain men, who were 
sent by the grantees to choose a suitable location, and lay 
out the township. To what is due the selection of the Con- 
toocook valley and its surrounding hills as the proper place 
to launch this new enterprise we are unable to say, but it is 



6 mSTOEICAL. 

probable that the natural advantages of the streams at the 
junction of the Contoocook and Nubunusit rivers for power 
and the hills for settling, together with the large tracts of 
fertile, level valley lands, which they could here include, 
without admitting any of the surrounding mountains and 
waste lands, appealed to them as a most suitable and prom- 
ising locality. At any rate the survey which they made and 
whose bounds were laid out exactly with the points of the 
compass, was so chosen as to contain most of the valuable 
land in this immediate section. Its north and south bounds 
were six miles and 68 rods long, those on the east and west 
were six miles and 60 rods; all in excess of six miles square 
being allowed "for sway of chain, and fifty acres for a pond," 
being Cunningham Pond. 

This survey was accepted and the land confirmed to the 
60 petitioners and grantees by the Massachusetts General 
Court. 

Jonathan Prescott, as empowered by the General Court, 
issued his mandate for a meeting of the proprietors on the 
25th of July, 1738, at the tavern of Luke Verdy, in Boston. 
Many rights had presumably been sold— as we find many 
new names among the officers chosen — at this meeting. 
John Hill was chosen moderator, and Peter Prescott, pro- 
prietor's clerk, both of which names were not included in 
the list of grantees. John Hill was chosen treasurer at an 
adjourned meeting when also a committee of five was ap- 
pointed to "view" the township, and to lay out lots as re- 
quired by the grant. 

It is evident from the whole proceedings of the propri- 



HISTOEICAL. 7 

etary that the four associates, John Hill, John Fovvle, Jr., 
Jeremiah Gridley, and Peter Prescott, had the management 
entirely in their own hands. It is not known how many of 
the proprietors still retained their rights; but on the 29th of 
November, when the drawing of the lots took place, these 
four men had become proprietors of all but two lots in the 
township, and after that date the two original proprietors, 
Hubbard and Jonathan Prescott, disappear from the rec- 
ord, and the other four act as sole proprietors of the town- 
ship. 

We can only briefly allude to the proceedings of the pro- 
prietors up to 1756. The proprietors usually met at a 
tavern, in Boston, but sometimes at Mr. Foster's, in Wo- 
burn, and only once at Peterborough, Sept. 26-7, 1753; 
where, tor the first time on their records, the name of the 
town, Peterborough, is recorded as the place of meeting. 
They ordered the town to be surveyed by Joseph Wilder, 
who laid out the sixty-three home lots (each home lot con- 
taining 50 acres, being united with a proprietor's lot of 50 
acres). He laid out the rest of the town in lots not exceed- 
ing 200 acres, nor less than 100 acres each. They cut and 
cleared a road five rods wide from New Ipswich to the meet- 
ing house (the present State road is part of the same); pre- 
sented a lot of 50 acres to the school; two lots of 50 acres 
each to the first and the second minister, reserving ten acres 
for the meeting house, burying ground, and training field; 
they presented 50 acres to John Ritchie, the first child born 
in the town; sent a gun to Rev. Mr. Harvey; in 1750, sent 
ten pounds of powder and twenty pounds of lead; and in 



8 HISTOEICAL. 

1754, at the beginning of the French and Indian War, sent 
half a barrel of powder, 100 pounds of lead, and 200 flints 
to the settlers. 

The first survey of lots by Wilder must have been made 
in the summer and autunn of 1738, as the plat was ready, 
and the division made among the proprietors, on the 29th 
of November. It is well known that the first attempt at 
settlement was made in 1739. The plat in the records, 
though undoubtedly made to be presented to the Masonian 
proprietors, is especially useful as showing the position of 
farms occupied by all the original settlers. In addition to 
the lands divided according to the Wilder survey, each pro- 
prietor received a farm containing 500 acres of land not 
surveyed in the previous surveys. Farm A, the most valua- 
ble of them all, situated just above and taking in the upper 
portion of the village, and 80 acres south and east of the 
River Nubunusit, was assigned to Gridley; Farm B to Hill; 
C to Prescott; D to Fowle; these last named farms lying on 
the Contoocook Eiver, extending from the Hancock line 
nearly to the North Factory. 

In the mean time, before any settlements were perma- 
nently made, the proprietors had discovered that the to\^n- 
ship was not under the jurit^diction of Massachusetts, but 
that the assigns of John T. Mason claimed the territory 
under the Masonian grant of a large portion of southern 
New Hampshire. No records of diplomacy concerning the 
adjustment of the various claims have come down to us, 
we only know that, under date of Jan. 26, 1748, the Mason- 
ian proprietors gave a quit claim deed to Hill, Gridley, 



HISTORICAL. 9 

Fowle, and the heirs of John Vassal (the latter having pre- 
sumably purchased the interest of Mr. Prescott) , reserving 
to themselves only 3400 acres of land, which was not to be 
taxed until improved, reserving also all the trees "fit for 
masting his Majesty's navy." This is the only legal docu- 
ment by which the proprietors ever held the town. All 
transactions with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts be- 
came annulled, until confirmed by the Masonian Proprie- 
tors. Under the New Grant the failure of an 3^ proprietor to 
meet his share of the expenses wrought a total forfeiture of 
his rights to the other proprietors. Under this provision 
the heirs of John Vassall forfeited their interest in the 
grant. The conditions of the grant required that the 
"grantees shall settle forty families on said tract of land 
within four years, and each family shall have fifteen acres 
of land cleared and ready for tillage, — have a meetinghouse 
built there, and preaching in the same constantly sup- 
ported." The time of the Indian War was not to count as a 
part of the four years. 

Up to 1748 there was no permanent settlement in town, 
and little to remind one of the home life that sprung up 
here so quickly lollowing 1749. We have no further demon- 
stration of any acts of the Masonian proprietors, who 
owned all the lands adjoining this town, except that, under 
their direction and instruction, for the purpose of improv- 
ing the townships of Jaffrey and Dublin, Colonel Blanchard 
run the west line of the town one entire range and half of 
another, further east than the original line, and added the 
same amount (three-fourths of a mile wide) on the east 



10 HISTORICAL. 

line, including most of the East Mountains which the first 
survey had so adroitly avoided. We know not whether it 
was in a spirit of injury that the 3400 acres reserved for 
the Masonian proprietors were assigned to them in this very 
section where the land was practically worthless. This 
controversy probably bred a good deal of ill-feeling, for it 
continued to linger along for twenty years, till May 22, 
1767, when John Hill, the clerk, sent them a plat of the 
town with the Mason lots laid out and the alterations made 
in its position by the Blanchard survey, marked upon it. 
Thus the subject was finally disposed of, and this act seems 
to have been the final duty of the proprietary, as this is the 
last transaction recorded in the proprietors' books. 



EARLY SETTLEMENT 

Although this town seems to be somewhat unfortunate 
in the character and disposition of its early proprietors, who 
seemed to be striving to advance their own interests as land 
speculators with little thought to the interests of their new 
landlords, it was unusually fortunate in the character and 
endurance of its early settlers, the progenitors of the present 
inhabitants who have not failed to inherit those straightfor- 
ward, decisive, though gentle traits, so characteristic of the 
Scotch-Irish peasantry. The time of the first settlement was 



HISTORICAL. 11 

supposed to be determined by an expression in a petition for 
an Act of Incorporation Oct. 31, 1759, signed by Thomas 
Morrison, Jonathan Morrison, and Thomas Cunningham. 
It begins as follows: 

"That about the year of our Lord 1739 a number of Per- 
sons, in consequence of a Grant of a tract of land, had and 
obtained from the Great and General Court or Assembly of 
the Provinceof the Massachusetts Bay, by Samuel Haywood 
and others his associates, granting to them the said tract 
of land on certain conditions of settlement. And in pursu- 
ance whereof a number of People immediately went on to 
said tract of land and began a settlement (tho then very 
far from any other inhabitants) which we have continued 
increasing ever since the year 1739 except sometimes when 
we left said Towship for fear of being destroyed by the 
enemy, who several times drove us from our Settlement soon 
after we began." 

Who were the first men to attempt to plant their 
homes in this locality we are unable to say definitely, but 
the date was doubtless 1738, or 1739. Good authority 
gives the names of Wm. Robie, Alexander Scott, Hugh Gregg, 
Wm. Gregg, Samuel Stinson, Wra. Scott, Wm. Wallace and 
Wm Mitchell as being of the men who came at this time, but 
of their doings here we know little. It is probable that they 
were soon driven off by the threatened hostilities of the 
Indians. In 1742 a party of five came from Lunenburg, 
Mass., and cleared a small patch of land near the old meet- 
ing house. Another attempt was made some time before 
1744, by Wm. McNee, John Taggart, and William Ritchie, 



12 HISTORICAL. 

which was confined to Ritchie Hill. They probably remained 
only one season. It is also stated that Capt. Thomas Mor- 
rison and one Mr. Russell came here about this time, build- 
in"^ a camp in a sheltered spot near the great boulder in the 
valley of the "Great River" (Contoocook river) and proceed- 
ed to clear land for home lots. They had no sooner begun, 
however, than their hospitality to a family of Indians in the 
valley was returned by robbing the men of all their provis- 
ions and they were obliged to retrace their steps to Towns- 
end, Mass., twenty miles, to obtain their dinner. 

From 1744 to 1748, it is thought there was no settler 
left in this vicinity. This was largely on account of the 
French war, then raging, and particularly on account of the 
unsettled ownership of this portion of the State. 

Concerning the Indian difficulties it must bo said they 
were mostly fears for it is not known that any attempt was 
ever made by the hostile bands to pillage or destroy this set- 
tlement which, at this time, was one of the frontier settle- 
ments. It is impossible to say what might have occurred, 
however, had not the settlement been deserted during these 
years of fearful hostilities. 

Near the time of the close of the war, the long contested 
question of ownership was practically settled, throwing this 
town into the lands of the Masonian Proprietors, and 
enabling pioneers to obtain clear titles to the lands 
in the township. The same proprietors remained in 
possession in Peterborough, and we find that in 1749, when 
the minds of the sturdy men of New England were turned 
toward the uncultivated lands, this tract offered unusual 



HISTORICAL. 13 

inducements. 

Those already possessing lands, many of whom had 
made improvements upon the same, were doubtless among 
the first to arrive in 1749, Others soon followed, coming 
with their families, trusting in numbers, under Providence, 
to effect their safety. Though another French war occurred 
in 1754 it did not seem to check the emigration, and we find 
that at the end of ten years, when incorporation as a town 
was sought, the settlement numbered forty -five to fifty fam- 
ilies, some 300 souls, 

A sketch of each of the pioneers is given in Dr. Smith's 
History of Peterborough, 1876, (to which we are indebted 
for most of the facts concerning the early town). We will 
pass over them here lightly, William Ritchie located where 
it is supposed he made his earlier clearing on Ritchie Hill. 
Here was born his son, John, Feb. 11, 1750, the first white 
child born in town. Deacon Wm, McNee (name afterwards 
changed to Nay) moved his family here May 1, 1752. John 
Taggart came to town with his family about the same time; 
Gustavus Swan, William Stuart and Wm. Smith all came 
about 1750; Alexander Scott, who was one of the first five 
to attempt a settlement here in 1739, came in 1750 and set- 
tled on the west side of the street road; John Morison, the 
progenitor of the Peterborough Morisons, came to town in 
1749 or 1750. Jonathan Morison, hie son, built the first 
grist mill in town, on the site of the "Peterborough First 
Factory," in 1751. Capt. Thomas Morison came from Lun- 
enburg, in 1749, and brought his family the following year. 
He occupied the "Mill farm" at the South village.

Others, many of whom were as early on the scene, and 
the part taken by them none less important, we must pass 
over with only the mention of their names; these were 
Joseph Caldwell, Samuel Miller, Thos. Cunningham, James 
Robbe, John White, John Smith, Dea. Thos. Davison, Thos. 
Turner, Dea. Samuel Mitchell, Wm. Scott, Wm. Mitchell, 
Rev. Mr. Harvey, Samuel Stinson, Wm. Robbe, Samuel 
Todd, Dea. Samuel Moore, John Ferguson, David Bogle,

McClourge, Thos. McCloud, Capt. David Steele, Samuel 
Miller, Joseph Hammill, Maj. Robert Wilson, Dr. John 
Young, Samuel Brackett, Thos. Little, Abraham Holmes, 
Abel Parker, Elijah Puffer, and others. 



INCORPORATION 



Ten years after the time of the beginning of the perma- 
nent settlement of Peterborough a petition was sent to the 
Governor and Council of New Hampshire for incorporation 
of the township. The petition was granted, incorporating 
the town for two years Jan. 17, 1760, and re-chartered in 
1762. 

By the terms of the charter Mr. Hugh Wilson was "ap- 
pointed" to issue the first warrant for a town meeting; this 
he did in characteristic style, calling the inhabitants to 



HISTORICAL. 15 

assemble m the meeting-house Monday, the 17th of March, 
1760. The first action was reading the charter, after which 
John Ferguson was chosen town clerk, and Hugh Wilson, 
Thomas Morison, Jonathan Morisou, Gentn. Joseph Cald- 
well, and John Swan, Jr., were chosen to comprise the first 
board of selectmen. 

The name, Peterborough, which is first used on the pro- 
prietor's records in 1753, was perhaps given to the township 
somewhat earlier. The tow^nship, in one connection, is men- 
tioned as "East Monadnick," but was generally designated 
on the records as " The Township." Concerning the deriva- 
tion of the name it seems to have been accepted as a fact 
that it was chosen in honor of the somewhat disreputable 
Earl of Peterborough, who achieved many brilliant and 
heroic deeds during the war of the Spanish succession, 
although the town history states (page 51) that nothing is 
known how it received its name except that the author had 
heard his father state that it was named after the Earl ; the 
suggestion however made on page 261 appears to be the 
more probable, that the town took its name from Peter 
Prescott, one of the original proprietors, who was assigned 
500 acres in Farm C. Before the town received an}^ name it 
was known by some as Peter Prescott's Burrow and the 
names given in some of the old state papers are Peter's Bur- 
row and Petersburrow. The name appears at an earlier 
date than 1753 in the State papers, where on page 8 of vol. 
9, it is mentioned in the petition for protection against the 
Indians under date of May 13, 1747, where it is spelled 
Petersborough.

CHURCH AFFAIRS 



The early church we can take up but briefly. The first 
house for pul)lic worship was erected in 1752, under the pro- 
prietary management. In 1774, the town voted to erect a 
new house, but this was not raised until three years later, 
and remained in an unfinished condition for many years. In 
1795, the question of removing the meeting house from its 
position on the east hill near the old grave 3'ard became a 
vital one and was agitated for many years, but it was never 
done. The old house continued to be used for some years 



18 HISTORICAL. 

only during the summer months, the services being held in 
sehoolhouses during the winter until 1825, when the church 
became divided and the old- building finally abandoned. A 
new Presbyterian church was built that year, at Gordon's 
Corner, and the present Unitarian church was erected near 
the bridge. 

Rev. Mr. Johnson, a Presbyterian, who came here with 
the settlers, Rev. Mr. Harvey, and Rev. Mr, Powers, were 
among the earliest preachers in Peterborough, but Rev. 
John Morrison was the first settled minister, being ordained 
Nov. 26, 1766. This was an unfortunate event for the town 
as the character of Mr. Morrison seems not to have been 
such as to do honor to the exalted position he aspired to fill. 
He was removed from the charge of the church as a result of 
a petition sent to the Provincial Legislature, in 1771, by the 
leading men of the town. Rev. David Annan was the next 
settled minister, coming to the church in 1778. He remained 
fourteen years, but he, too, was unsatisfying to this earnest 
people who desired to hear knowledge and truth from the 
lips of the man whom they hired to study the Bible and the 
best literature, and to give them the instruction which the 
circumstances of life did not afford them time and means to 
get for themselves. 

Rev. Elijah Dunbar was the third settled minister in 
Peterborough. He came June 5, 1799, when he settled as a 
Congregationalist. His long, and generally successful min- 
istry extended over a period of 27 years. Beginning in 1804, 
one day in each year w^as set apart for the Presbyterian 
members who desired to administer the Lord's Supper 



HISTOEICAL. 19 

according to their form; this was continued in this church 
until 1822, when a church of this faith wasformed. In 1826, 
the "Congreojational Society in Peterborough" was formed 
for the purpose of supporting public worship, and the year 
following. Rev, Mr. Dunbar was succeeded by Rev, Abiel 
Abbott, D. D. Rev. Mr. Dunbar was the last minister of the 
town. 

Rev. Mr, Abbott continued to supply the pulpit until 
1839, when his health failed, and Rev. Curtis Cutler was set- 
tled as a colleague, Jan. 29, 1840. In 1848, Rev, Liberty 
Billings succeeded these men, but resigned after a ministry of 
two years. Rev, Chas, Robinson was installed pastor, in 
1851, remaining as such until 1859, The next year, Rev, 
Chas, B, Ferry became pastor, remaining until 1869. Isaac 
F. Potter became pastor in 1870, remaining but two years. 
Abraham W. Jackson came in 1873 and served about 10 
years; W, H, Walbridge succeeded for 13 years; Geo. E. Lit- 
tlefield, 2 years; W. P, Elkins, 2 years; and W. H, Brani- 
gan, who has filled this pulpit since 1900, The old edifice 
was extensively remodeled in 1895, but enough of the origi- 
nal features remain to remind us of the Faith of the fathers 
who set aside ever^' worldly care and ambition that they 
might, on the Sabbath day, worship God in a true and 
devoted manner, 

UNION CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH 

In 1822, a portion of the people, who had never been 
pleased with the Congregational form of worship, formed a 
Presbyterian society, and in 1825, built the house of wor- 



20 mSTOEICAL. 

ship of brick, at Gordon's Corner; which house was occupied 
until 1839, when it was taken down, and its material used 
toward a new house, erected on Concord street, the same 
house now used by the Union Congregational society. The 
Presbyterian society was presided over by Kevs. Peter Holt, 
Nathaniel Pine, James R. French, and Henry J. Lamb, as 
settled pastors. 

In 1853, several members of the Presbyterian society 
were dismissed on account of dissatisfaction, and together 
with others, were organized into a Congregational church. 
April 21, 1858, these tw^o churches each dissolved their 
respective organizations and united in forming the Union 
Evangelical Church, which name was changed to its present 
name in 1894. 

The first settled pastor of this society was Rev. George 
Dustan, who was installed Oct. 19, 1859. After a very suc- 
cessful ministry of more than a quarter of a century, during 
which time 277 persons were received into church member- 
ship, he resigned, and was dismissed Dec. 3, 1885. Rev. 
Austin H. Burr was the succeeding pastor, remaining four 
years. Rev. J. H. Hoffman was acting pastor a little more 
than four years, beginning June, 1889. He was succeeded 
by Rev. W. H. Gane until 1900. Rev. Chas. S. Haynes 
became the next to fill this pulpit, preaching from 1901 until 
August, 1904, when Rev. Rolla G. Bugby, the present pas- 
tor, began his services. The membership of this church is 
now one hundred and sixty-three, one hundred and twenty- 
eight of whom are resident. 

In the summer of 1866 the house of worship was enlarged 



HISTORICAL. 21 

and repaired, at a cost of nearly |3,000, and in the year 
1873, a chapel coetin^ some |>1,600 was joined to the rear 
of the church, and in 1884 a new and beautiful pipe org:an 
was placed in the house at a cost of about |1,750. In 1893, 
the sum of $5,000 was again expended in repairing and 
improving this now modern and comfortable edifice. 

FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH 

The first Baptist preaching in Peterborough, dates back 
to 1822, and the present society was organized Dec. 19, of 
that year, with two male, and fourteen female members. 
The first meeting house, located on High street, was erected 
very soon after. 

In the summer of 1842, the new brick church on Main 
street was completed and dedicated. Rev. Zebulon Jones, pas- 
tor. After his departure in April 1843, the church was pas- 
torless about one-half the time until 1848, when Rev. J. M. 
Chick came, remaining over four .years. Severe trials are 
noted from 1853 to 1866. During the pastorate of Rev. J. 
B. Breed, 1876-'77, the church was much quickened and the 
meeting house thoroughly and substantially repaired. The 
50th anniversary was observed in Dec. 1872. Rev. W. O. 
Ayer, 1871-'74, from whose record of this church in Smith's 
history a few facts have been gleaned, has long been an 
esteemed pastor in Brockton, Mass. Rev. James A. Francis, 
D. D., 1888-'91, is lovingly remembered, and his excellent 
qualities as preacher and pastor, have made him widely 
known in New York and Boston. Since leaving the Claren- 
don St. Church in the latter city, he finds a most congenial 

p3 



22 HISTORICAL. 

sphere for his unbounded activity as State Evangelist of 
New York. During the long and happy pastorate of the 
present pastor, Rev. DeForest Safford, who has been in 
charge since Jan. 1, 1892, and to whom we are indebted for 
these facts, the church edifice has been thoroughly repaired 
withoutand within, a furnace added, a larger organ installed, 
and electric lights have been made to replace the lamps, all 
being accomplished by the church, which has now obtained 
control of a majority of shares in the building, and by their 
friends in a willing spirit worthy of record. 

METHODIST SOCIETY 

The first Methodist sermon preached in Peterborough 
was in the year 1819, when Rev. Zenas Adams began his 
ministry throughout this section of Hillsborough County. 
In 3 824, Rev. Mr. Adams, in connection with Rev. G. Camp- 
bell, visited this town, and formed a class of 6 members. Up 
to the year 1834, this place was included in a circuit, being 
visited at first probably not oftener than once a month. 
Joseph Allen was the first pastor to be appointed here after this 
became a station. He remained two years, then Rev. John 
Allen was stationed here from 1837 to 1839. 

Up to this time the society had worshipped in school- 
houses and in private dwellings and for a few years occupied 
the town house. The year 1839 being centennial year, they 
obtained many centenary gifts for the purpose of erecting a 
meetinghouse and were able to complete and dedicate the 
present neat church Sept. IG, 1840. A pleasant parsonage 
on the same lot, on Coucort streed, forms a part of the prop- 



HISTORICAL. 23 

erty of this society. Through the earnest efforts of Rev. 
Dana Cotton, then pastor, a convenient chapel was 
erected at the rear of the church about 1890. By will of 
Benj. F. Winn,afund of |800 was bequeathed to this society 
for the support of preaching;. This sum was afterwards 
increased |200 from Mr. Geo. Brackett and his niece, Miss 
Cora Brackett; and by a further sum of |200 through the 
will of Miss Martha Sawyer. 

A long list of faithful men have labored with this people. 
The present pastor, Rev. H, B. Copp, settled here in 1899, 
has remained for a longer period than any of his predecess- 
ors. The present membership of this church is about fifty. 

ST. Peter's catholic church 

There were but three Catholics in town in 1842, but the 
number increased so rapidly that in 1847 Rev. John Daly, a 
missioner from Clarem on t, celebrated here the first mass in 
this section. Afterwards the pastors at Claremont and 
Keene administered to the spiritual needs of the Catholics 
here until it became a mission of Milford, under Rev. Patrick 
Holahan. In 1874, Fr. Holahan came to reside here; the 
town was as yet, however, only a mission. After the dedica- 
tion of the new church here in 1876, Fr. Holahan was pro- 
moted to Keene, while Rev. Edmund E. Buckle of Lowell, 
was given the care of the missions including Peterborough, 
Milford and Greenville, with his residence at Wilton. In 
June, 1885, he was succeeded by Rev. Patrick L. McEvoy, of 
Dover, who came to this mission as the second resident 
priest. The following August he removed to East Jaffrey, 



24 HISTORICAL. 

where the Catholics had purchased a parsonag;e. lu March, 
1891, Fr. McEvoy was as8io;ned to Wilton, and was suc- 
ceeded at East Jaffrey by R-ev. Edw. J. Furlong, During Fr. 
Furlong's pastorate he became afflicted with what was feared 
would result in a fatal case of lead-poisoning, from which, 
however, he slowly recovered; during this period, two assist- 
ant priests were at different times assigned to the parish; 
Rev. Patrick J. Scott, in Nov. 1895, and Rev. Francis X. 
O'Neil in Jan., 1898, the latter remained in that capacity 
until the formation of the Peterborough parish on July 8, 
1900. The present pastor. Rev. John P. O'Neil of Nashua, 
became the first resident pastor of the new parish, and the 
third resident priest; the church was then given the name, 
St. Peters. 

Ground was broken for the building of the church, Oct. 
12, 1869; the first mass was celebrated in the partially fin- 
ished edifice, Jan. 5, 1870; and it was practically completed 
in Oct. of that year, the pews, however, were not added until 
1876 (eight more in 1886), and the church was formally 
dedicated May 14, 1876, at which time there were about 30 
Catholic families in town. The recently taken census of this 
parish, comprising almost exclusively the town of Peter- 
borough, is about four hundred souls. Fr. O'Neil has made 
many improvements in and about the church, consisting in 
part of an addition to the sacristy, he has also painted and 
frescoed the building and cleared and improved the cemetery. 
He lives in his own house on Union street, and is much 
beloved by the people.

MILITARY MATTERS. 

The part taken by this town in the great contests-at- 
armsfor the establishment and maintainance of American 
Independence has been quite fully taken up by Dr. Smith in 
hishistory, preceding page 172, so we will devote no space to 
the repetition of these facts and dates. Suffice it to say here 
that the records made by the men who have gone out from 
this town to the various wars are such that the hearts of 
the present generation swell with pride at the recount of 
their deeds and valor, and have done much to perpetuate 
their memory. 

In 1869 the beautiful monument, erected to the memory 
of those who gave their lives during the war of the Rebellion, 
was placed in Putnam Grove, on Grove Street, and was ded- 
icated the 17th of the following June (1870) after the park 
had been beautified, terraced and fenced. Here it remained 
until April 15, 1902, when it was removed under a vote of 
the town to its present location in front of the old Acad- 
emy, which was presented to the town, in 1899, for the use 
of the Grand Army and its allied organizations. 

Aaron S. Stevens Post, No. 6, Dept. of N. H., G. A. R., 
was organized Feb. 25, 1868. From that time to the pres- 
ent the names of 197 comrades have been placed on her rolls, 
The present number of members is 47, many of whom are 
citizens of adjacent towns. H. T. Buckland is the present 
commander. 



26 HISTORICAL. 

Aaron S, Stevene,W. R. C, Number 51, was organized in 
Oct. 1888, with Mrs. D. A. D'Orsey, president. This organi- 
zation now has a membership of 46. Mrs. Mary Higgins is 
president. 

A camp of Sons of Veterans was instituted May 8, 1900 
with twenty members. J. A. Duncklee is the present camp 
commander. 

Cavalry Troop;— Troop A, Peterborough Cavalry, New 
Hampshire State Militia, was organized at Peterborough 
October 5, 1872, by Gen. D. M. White, This is composed of 
sixty-eight men of this and adjoining towns, and is the only 
organization of the kind in the state. The names of 265 
men have been enrolled on the records of the organization, 
many of whom have remained in the service for a long period 
of years. Enlistments are made for three-year periods in the 
militia, and in case the Troop is called into action, six 
monthsservice may be demanded in the regular U. S. service. 
So far the troop has never been called to service. 

The commanders of the troop, since organization, have 
been: Genl. D. M. White, the organizer; Col. Charles Scott, 
Capt. James E. Sanders, Capt. L. P. Wilson, Capt. C. A. 
Jaquith, Capt. E. H. Smith, the present commander of the 
State Soldiers' Home at Tilton, and the present commander, 
Capt. C. B. Davis C. H. Dutton is now First Lieutenant, 
and Clifford Gowing, Second Lieutenant.

EDUCATIONAL ITEMS. 

We have no record of any action in this township in re- 
gard to school affairs prior to the incorporation ol the 
town in 1760, it is supposed, however, that schools either of 
a private nature or supported by general subscrii)tion were 
carried on at different intervals. We find on page 14 of the 
life of Judge Jeremiah Smith, by Rev. John H. Morison 
(1845), in relation to Judge Smith's early education, that 
"He began to study Latin when about twelve years old, 
with Rudolphus Greene, an Irishman employed by the 
town." This was in 1771, and it is supposed that Greene 
was the first regular school teacher in the town. At the 
first meeting of the town, under the act of incorporation, 
£40 was voted for schooling. The next year, however, we 
find no appropriation, but a vote that whatever of this sum 
remained unexpended should be paid to Samuel Stinson for 
work done on the meeting house. There is not another ap- 
propriation of money for schools recorded until 1772. We 
do not conclude that no attention was given to teaching 
the boys and girls of this period, but as to the method fol- 
lowed we are unable to say. In the year last mentioned the 
town took upon itself again the support of public schools, 
and appropriated £12 for their maintainance. In 1781 the 
sum of £18, "or paper money equal thereto," was appro- 
priated tor this purpose, and the selectmen were directed to 
divide the town into eight parts, "the school to be kept 



28 HISTORICAL. 

equally in each part." In 1787 and 1788 mention was made 
of a "grammar school," of what grade of attainment we 
are not informed. In 1789 the "parts" became known as 
"dioceses," five of which were laid out the following year, 
and vending the building of school houses in each diocese 
was put into the hands of the selectmen as a committee. 

For several years those living at what is now the cen- 
tral village were not provided with a school of their own, 
but were obliged to avail themselves of those nearest. Many 
attempts were made to secure the erection of a school-house 
here until, finally, in 1799, a vote was made "to give Sam- 
uel Smith and Asa Evans |150 to build said school-house, — 
|75 this year and $75 next." The house was to be located 
"east of the great bridge, nigh the guide post." This was 
the sixth district in town. 

At last the village, or centre district, was granted a 
school-house, with the pittance of $150 and private contri- 
butions to build the same, but they were not to be satisfied 
with a common house, merely, but foreseeing their coming 
needs, they erected a two-story building standing to-day 
immediately north of the Town Library, the upper room of 
which they fitted up for the first academy in town, the extra 
cost being met by the members of the district. How many 
years the academy was in session we are unable to say, but 
among the names of those who there gave instruction were 
Edmund Parker, Reuben D. Musser and Wm. F. Morison, 
all Dartmouth graduates, who became men of note. 

In 1824 seven new brick school houses were erected, one 
in each district, each being erected by the members of the 



HISTORICAL. 29 

district. This method was followed for maoy years, the 
schools increasing in size and in numbers, the attendance at 
a school sometimes reaching the one hundred mark, and the 
number of districts in town reaching at one time eleven. 
Gradually new methods have been adopted and old ones dis- 
carded. The rural schools have decreased and in some cases 
disappeared while the village and hamlet schools have been 
developed into modern institutions of learning. In 1886 
the district system was abolished in town, the town purchas- 
ing of each district the school property in their possession. 

The fine school-building in the village, located on the 
height of land which overlooks a large portion of theContoo- 
cook valley, was erected in 1889 at a cost of .f 18,000. This 
building accommodates all village schools, and the town 
high-school. 

PETERBOROUGH ACADEMY:— An act incorporating 
an academy in Peterborough was passed by the New Hamp- 
shire legislature Dec. 28, 1836. A sufficient subscription 
having been obtained lor the purpose, a neat brick building- 
was erected in the village during the summer of 1837, on 
land presented by Gen. James Wilson for the purpose. The 
whole amount expended was f 1,453.63. 

The opening services were held Aug. 21, 1837. Nathan 
Ballard, a Dartmouth graduate was secured as instructor 
and the school opened with a large attendance. Mr. Ballard 
remained but one year, but was succeeded by other able and 
successful teachers. According to an exhaustive article, 
written in 1903 lor the Peterborough Historical Society, by 
James F. Brannan, there were twenty-five principals em- 



30 HISTORICAL. 

ployed in the Academy during the thirty-three years of its 
activity; nearly all of these men came here from college, 
remaining but a short time before going to broader fields of 
usefulness. Regular sessions were held until 1870 when, for 
lack of attendance, the session closed and the building ceased 
to be used for an Academy. 

On Feb. 25, 1871, Miss E. M. Wood commenced a select 
school here, but met with little success. At the March meet- 
ing, following, however, the town voted to establish a high 
school, and a month later the Academy corporation voted 
to lease this building to the town for that purpose. 

Highbchool: — Thomas P. Maryatt became the first prin- 
cipal of the high school, remaining from the opening of the 
fall term, 187] , to the close of the summer term, 1875. The 
high school continued to occupy this building until the close 
of the fall term of 1889, when the Academy building was 
vacated and ceased to be used for school purposes. In 1890 
the spring term of the high school commenced in the new 
school building, already mentioned, and has continued in its 
new home. Two rooms have been recently equipped for 
physical and chemical laboratories in this building, the 
expense being borne by five of the town's summer visitors. 

Two hundred and thirty five young men and women 
have been graduated from this institution of learning, a 
majority of whom have been sons and daughters of Peter- 
borough. The graduating class of 1904 numbered twelve. 

The following is a list of principals of the high school 
with their dates of service: Thomas P. Maryatt, 1871-75; 
Leslie C. Cornish, 1875-77; J. O. Tilton, 1877-80; H. M.

Rich, 1880-81; Edwin H. Taylor, 1881-1882; Charles L. 
Rich, 1882-83 ;C. L. Rich, resigned in the summer of 1883. 
Charles N. Beutly taught the Fall term of that year and 
commenced the Winter term, but during the Thanksgiving 
recess, the committee report that Mr. Bently "folded his 
tent like the Arabs, and silently stole away;" Albert D. 
Smith, 1883-85; Ai S. Anois, 1885-1887; L. G. Smith, 1887- 
88; Helen M. Greenwood, 1888-1891; Ella C. Abbot, 1891- 
95; Aubrey B. Call, 1895-98: James H. Johnson, 1898-1900; 
Newton D. Clarke, 1900-01; Frank E. Mason, 1901-04; 
Verne M. Whitman came in 1904 and is the present princi- 
pal. A list of the principals, assistants and graduates of 
the high school from its establishment to 1879 can be found 
in the printed town report of that year. 



MANUFACTURING INTERESTS. 

The earliest manufactories in Peterborough were of a 
very difierent nature from those which have sprung up in 
town during the nineteenth century. Instead of here and 
there the busy hum of a great industrj^ preparing the cloth- 
ing for thousands, there was, in almost every home, the 
steady thud of the busy housewife's shuttle as she prepared 
the cloth for the use of the household. For many years this 
was the dependence of nearly every family in the township 



32 HISTOKICAL. 

as only a few could afford the expensive goods which were 
imported from England. The raising of flax, and its prepar- 
ation and manufacture into cloth was an industrj^ in which 
nearly every family in town was employed. Great skill was 
shown in the manufacture of linen goods, which was contin- 
ued until the manufacture of cotton goods was established 
about 1810, soon after which the raising of flax ceased. 

The flrst Peterborough cotton factory, known as the 
''Old' or "5e77" Factory was erected in 1809-'10. It stands 
on the spot where the first saw or grist mill was built in 
town in 1751, on the north side of the Nubanusit river at the 
head of a large fall of the same in the Center Village. The 
machinery was put into operation in 1810 and continued in 
successful operation for many years. In 1817, an addition 
of a brick building was made to the factory, and looms 
added to the establishment under the superintendence of 
John H. Steele, afterwards Governor of the State, and the 
first cotton cloth woven by water-power in New Hampshire 
was manufactured here in May, 1818. Mr. Steele remained 
in charge of this mill until 1824, when he resigned to take 
the superintendence of the building of the Union Mill, at the 
West village. Frederick Livingston bought a part interest 
in the mill, and in 1855, sold to Ammidown Lane & Co., of 
New York City, who enlarged and repaired the mill. It was 
operated by them and others, for many years. This is now 
thehomeof the Peterborough Shank Co., ithavingbeen occu- 
pied by several different concerns since becoming unused for 
a cotton factory. Here the P. C. Cheney Co. manufactured 
pulp, two different concerns operated for the manufacture of 



HISTORICAL. 83 

indurated fibre ware, and the manufacture of ivory goods 
has been carried on. The Peterborough Shank Co. came here 
in 1897, from Greenwich, N. Y. They manufacture leather- 
board and shoe shanks, forty hands being employed. W. N. 
Sprague is the president and manager. 

The Phoenix Factory is situated on the Nubanusit, some 
thirty rods above its junction with the Contoocook river. 
In 1812, the northern part of an old building 200 feet long 
and two-stories high was converted into a cotton factory by 
Samuel Smith, its owner, and was put in operation in 1813 
or 1814, under the direction of his son, Frederick A. Smith. 
In 1822, the business was changed to weaving, and the fol- 
lowing year sold to Samuel May, and others. The new com- 
pany organized, and became incorporated as the "Phcenix 
Cotton and Paper Factory," but in 1832 this name was 
changed to the "Phoenix Factory." In 1823 paper making 
had been given up, and the south part of the old building 
replaced by a new brick structure. This was destroyed by 
fire, Dec. 18, 1828, at a loss estimated at |32,000. It was 
rebuilt in 1829 and filled with machinery and the north half, 
which had not suffered by the fire, was also replaced by a 
new brick building and the entire factory put in excellent 
condition. Jonas Livingston enlarged the mill again during 
his superintendency. It has been under almost continual 
operation since it was established, but at the present time is 
not doing a full volume of business. It is operated with a 
capitol stock of |100,000, has 40 broad and 104 narrow 
looms, 5000 spindles, and 22 cards. Fifty hands have been 
employed during the past winter. The entire product at the 



34 HISTORICAL. 

present time is yarn, which is used in other mills in the man- 
ufacture of white goods. Benj, Phillips is the present treas- 
urer, William Knowles is agent. 

The Eagle Factory building was erected in 1795, by Dan- 
iel Abbot and was occupied by him for many years as a cab- 
inet shop, chair factory, and dwelling house. It was con- 
verted into a cotton factory by him and others, under the 
name of "Eagle Factory" in 1813, the machinery being built 
by Harris & Dodge, of this town. It was many jears under 
the charge of Thomas Baker, and was finally sold to Joseph 
and Abisha Tubbs. In 1833, it was purchased by Moore & 
Colby, who, in the summer of that year, removed the old 
buildings and built a machine shop, where they carried on 
the manufacturing of machinery. This was carried on later 
by William Moore, followed by Morrison & Felt, later, Gran- 
ville P. Felt, and was destroyed by fire Nov. 16, 1875; the 
place is now occupied by H. B. Needham's Basket shop. 

The South Factory was erected in 1809, on the west 
bank of the Contoocook river, in the South Village, and was 
put in operation the following year. In 1814 or 1815 it was 
purchased by Nathaniel Morison and was carried on by him 
for a few years at a great loss. It was then sold to Barry, 
Senter & Brown, and subsequently by them to Stephen Felt. 
It was destroyed by fire in 1849, and was never rebuilt. 

Union Factory.— The first mill was erected in 1824, 
together with a machine shop, under the care of John H. 
Steele. In 1856, a new factory building, mill No. 2, was 
erected and filled with modern machinery for the manufac- 
ture of sheetings and shirtings. This factory is located at 



HISTORICAL. 35 

West Peterborough on the Nubanusit. John H. Steele 
remained in charge of this factory until he sold out his inter- 
est in 1845. 

In 1900 the Clarendon Mills Co. of West Boylston, whose 
mills and property was taken by the great Metropolitan 
Water Works Reservoir, removed their thriving business to 
the West Peterborough factories. They added a weave-room 
75x160 feet, and a fine new bleachery, which was dedicated 
Feb. 2, 1900. There are now 60 broad and 160 narrow 
looms. 125 hands are employed regularly. The product 
consists of crocheted quilts and towels. Benj. Phillips is 
treasurer, W. T. Butler is the present agent. 

The North Factory was built in 1813, one and a half 
miles from the center village, on the Contoocook river. It 
began operations in 1814, and looms were introduced in 
1823, under the direction of Stephen Felt. It continued in 
operation until 1860 when it was sold to Charles Wilder, and 
converted into a shop for the manufacture of thermometers 
and barometers. This business was carried on successfully 
by Mr. Wilder for many years until his death, July 26, 1900, 
since which time it has been operated by his executors. This 
business was removed to Troy, N. Y., May 1, 1905. The 
thermometers made by Mr. Wilder gained a world-wide repu- 
tation for accuracy, none of the cheaper grades being manu- 
factured. The mill to be vacated offers an excellent oppor- 
tunity for an enterprising business requiring 100 to 160 h-p, 
which is furnished here by the Contoocook river. 

Woolen Manufacture. — Wool-carding was introduced in 
Peterborough during the latter part of the eighteenth cen- 



36 HISTORICAL. 

tury, by Samuel Smith and others. 

Calvin Chamberlain and James Perkins erected a build- 
ingfor carding wool and cloth dressing and the manufacture 
of wool goods in 1813, at the South Village. In 1817, this 
mill was purchased by Henry F. Coggswell, who made many 
improvements, but lost the mill by fire in 1823. The follow- 
ing year he rebuilt larger, and carried on a successful busi- 
ness lor many years, until he sold to Joseph Noone in 1845. 
Joseph Noone continued the business until his death, May 
20, 1870, afterwards it was carried on by his sons, R. H. and 
A. W. Noone, under the name of Joseph Noone's Sons and 
at present by A. W. Noone as Joseph Noone's Sons Co. The 
mill was destroyed by fire Feb. 16, 1872; soon after this, a 
substantial brick structure was built on the site. It has 
continued under successful operation, using up-to-date 
machinery and trade principles. 

Basket Manufacture. — This industry was begun in Peter- 
borough by Amzi Childs, in 1854, in a building situated near 
the granite mill. Mr. Childs carried on the business for many 
years and was succeeded by his son, Henry Childs, for a time; 
the building was subsequently burned and never rebuilt. 

H. B. Needbam's Basket Shop, now in operation, where 
Felt's machine shop formerly stood, is one of the liveliest 
places of business in town. Mr. Needham began in 1881, in 
a small shop across the canal from the present building. 
The latter he erected about twelve years ago. He has 
recently purchased the business of the Standard Basket Co., 
of Milford, from Gov. McLane, and will double the capacity 
of his building to accommodate this increase of business. At 



HISTORICAL. 37 

present he averages to employ 25 hands. Splint baskets, of 
capacities varyinj^ from 2 quarts to 30 bushels are made, 
much of the work bein^ done by machinery. Mr. Need ham 
owns the entire business. 

A peo^ mill was built by Mark Wilder, in 1834, on the 
Nubanusit river, east of Morison's mill. He commenced bus- 
iness in 1835, which year he made 1000 bushels of pe^s. After 
several years the building was converted into a saw mill, 
then the site was bought by Joshua Briggs to erect a mill for 
the manufacture of Briggs' Portable Piano-Stools, which he 
had begun as early as 1862. In 1873, he erected the build- 
ings that now stand on this site; these he occupied many 
years and carried on an increasing and profitable business. 
The building was afterwards occupied by Geo. W. Vinal, but 
is now vacated. 

The large, 5-story building near the railroad station was 
erected by a corporation oi local investors, in 1884, for the 
manufacture of shoes in town. C. A. Coffin & Co. occupied a 
portion of it for ten years, manufacturing men's shoes, and 
G. S. Stockwell & Co. occupied the remainder for the manu- 
facture of ladies' and children's shoes. At the end of ten 
years the building was vacated by these concerns. The same 
year the New York Piano Forte Key Co., Hagan & Ruefer, 
proprietors, came here from New" York City. They manufac- 
tured piano keys and piano cases, as well as some complete 
instruments, employing 35 men. This company removed to 
Middletown, N. Y., May 1, 1905, leaving again vacant the 
45,000 sq. ft. of floor space, which it is hoped will soon be 
occupied by some successful industry.

38 HISTORICAL. 

The Granite Grist Mill was built in 1840, by Gen. James 
Wilson and Asa Davis, the granite being quarried on the hill 
east of the village. The upper story of the building is occu- 
pied by the Peterboro Transcript. The present owners of 
the building, Walbridge & Taylor, purchased the property 
of R. H. Noone, in 1888, at which time the Granite Mill was 
occupied as a grist mill. The next year they erected the new 
mill and grain elevator. This was severely damaged in 
1903, when fire destroyed the mill machinery and the news- 
paper presses up stairs. The second story was at one time 
occupied for the manufacture of shoes. 

The Peterborough Marble and Granite Wo/As, was estab- 
lished in the rear of the Granite Grist Mill, in 1849, by 
Hubert Brennan; it was subsequently moved to the base- 
ment of the ''Yellow^ Shop" and later to what was formerly 
the Smith foundry building, both of which were owned by 
Mr. Brennan. In Dec. 1872, it was moved to its present 
location in Brennan Block, which was built that year on the 
site of the buildings burned April 30, 1868, on Main street. 
In November, 1878, J. F. Brennan, son of the former owner, 
succeeded to the business and is the present proprietor. The 
fine output of this establishment is found in all the cemeter- 
ies within a radius of twenty-five miles. Hubert Brennan, 
who is now 83 years of age, is still actively engaged, with 
his son, in the business and is the only person in town who 
has been in active business for over half a century. 

The Truss Business. — This business was established by 
Chas. Thompson in Peterborough, as early as 1840, and is 
said to have been the first of the kind in America. Wm. F. 



HISTOEICAL. 39 

Pratt bought and enlarged the business, and was associated 
with others, including Elbridge Howe. Mr. Howe established 
a new plant about 1880, and in 1884, erected his present 
building, off Concord street. He has employed as many as 
ten and twelve hands, and has sold his goods throughout 
New England and the Central States. 

S. G. White began manufacturing the "Wright steam- 
engine governor," in June 1897, but established his machine 
shops on River street about eight years earlier. He is now 
assisted by his sons. Besides machine work, all the electri- 
cal wiring in town is done by this concern. 

The Peterboro' Creamery Co. was organized in 1883, and 
a dwelling house situated on Winter street was purchased 
and fitted up for a creamery. There are now about fifty 
patrons. John Q. Adams, who is now president of the com- 
pany, was the first treasurer; E. W. Jones is the present 
treasurer; F. P. Woodbury is the butter-maker. 

S. Anderson cC- Son, lumber manufacturers and contract- 
ors, operate the largest planing mill in town. This is located 
on the site of the old Smith foundry and was purchased by 
them of Mr. C. E. Jacjuith, in 1892. From five to twenty 
men are employed, varying with the season. 

A. J. Dodge manufactures thermometers on a small 
scale, at his home on Summer street. The Elm Poultry 
Fountain Co. manufacture galvanized sheet steel poultry 
fountains from a variety of models. 

There were sereral other early industries here, which 
were of considerable importance, but have now been discon- 
tinued. Lack of space forbids including them here, but any

PETERBOROUGH TOWN LIBRARY 

The history of the early libraries in Peterborough is 
interesting, but to give that is beyond the scope of this brief 
account. We find the "Peterborough Social Library" was 
established in 1811; Rev. Abial Abbot got together a circu- 
lating library soon after; both the Union and the Phcpnix 
cotton factories had small, well-selected libraries for the use 
of their employees; and the Peterborough Ministerial 
Library, connected with the old Parish Church, have all 
played important parts in developing a love for good litera- 
ture in the town. The Free Town Library, which was estab- 
lished April 9, 1833, was doubtless the earliest free public 
library supported by municipal tax established anywhere 
among the English speaking people; for this distinction the 
library received in 1902, the sum of |5,0()0 from Andrew 
Carnegie, as a fund. The library steadily grew and 
prospered, the town annually paving, at first |45,now about 
|l,000forits support. Many personal gifts w^ere received. 
The library was located in several different places in the vil- 
lage before it was provided with the present substantial 
library building, situated at the junction of Main and Con- 
cord streets. This building is the gift of Mrs. Nancy S. Fos- 



HISTORICAL. 41 

ter, of Chicapjo, and William H. Smith, of Alton, 111., both 
natives of Peterborough, together with others, who gave 
toward the lot, that the library might have this superior 
location. The building was constructed under the direction 
of the late George S. Morison, also a native of this town, 
and a civil engineer of national reputation. He built for 
strength, durability and service. The material is mostly 
brick and iron, the floors and racks in the stack-room being 
of the latter material as well as the sills and rafters. The 
floor of the reading room is of white marble mosaic. The 
total cost was about |20,000. Since moving into these new 
quarters in 1893, the number of volumes has increased from 
5,000 to 12,000. Art exhibits by the Library Art Club are 
also given here. The library is open every day in the year 
and is well served by Mrs. Eva E. Coffin, who has filled the 
position of librarian since 1890. 



VILLAGE IMPROVEMENTS 

The Electric Lighting Plant, situated about four miles 
from the center village, on the Harrisville road, was put in 
by the Peterboro Electric Light, Power & Heat Co., in 1894; 
John E. Gale, of Lynn, Mass., being the organizer and prin- 
cipal owner. The plant was purchased by the town, and 
possession taken July 1, 1902. The power is obtained from 
the Nubanuset river and has a capacity of 1200 10 candle- 



42 HISTORICAL. 

power lights. There are probably 1500 lights connected. The 
purchase of this plant by the town has proven a financial 
investment of great profit. It is managed by a board of 
commissioners chosen by the town and a superintendent 
selected by the commissioners; those for 1905 are: Ezra M. 
Smith, James F. Brennan and Samuel G. White, Commis- 
sioners; E. J. Thompson, was superintendent until May 1, 
1905. Pearl A. White succeeded Mr. Thompson on that 
date. 

A most satisfactory Water System was installed by the 
town, in 1896, with an investment of |53,000. The supply 
is obtained from Town Line brook, near the Sharon town 
line and in quality is as pure as any water supply in the 
State and of ample quantity for present needs. An immer- 
gency reservoir, with a capacity of 1,000,000 gals, has been 
constructed on the hill east of the village, and seventy 
hydrants throughout the center village. The gravity sys- 
tem is employed, giving a pressure of from 60 to 125 pounds 
throughout the village. This system is under the care of the 
following board of commissioners for 1905: T. B. Tucker, 
A. J. Walbridge and E. W. Jones. In order to provide for 
any possible future demands and to insure an ample supply 
of water during the dryest times, the town voted at the 
annual meeting, in 1905, to reinforce the supply by laying a 
pipe from Cunningham pond to connect with the present 
water system. When this is complete this town will have an 
ample supply of the purest w^ater.

What is it ^ives and Holds us 
our Great Trade ? ? ? 



It is not entirely owing to the excellence of our Shoe Department, 
the fine showing of the most wanted Dry Goods, Dainty Waists, 
Skirts, Ties, Ginghams, Lawns, Ribbons and Cresco Corsets, or the 
beautiful Crockery, China, Glass, Carpets, Rugs and Art Squares 
on our second floor, or 

The very Low Prices of Our Goods 

But these combined with the pleasant store and the good service 
that all appreciate so much, that make you feel at home, and 
makes our store your store.

Gensus-1905 



The population ol the town of Peterborough has been 
arranged in families where that arrangement has been 
possible. In these families, in addition to the resident 
living members, the names of the non-resident members 
are included. It should be borne in mind that this plan 
does not include the names of all former residents of this 
town, as the names of the non-residents appear only when 
one or both of the parents are still living in the town. After 
the name of each non-resident will be found the present 
address, when such address has been given to us. Non-resi- 
dents are indicated by the (*). 

When a daughter in a family has married, her name 
taken in marriage appears after her given name in parenthe- 
sis, the name preceded by a small m, thus: (m ). 

Following the names of the population is the occu 
pation, postofRce address, or rural free delivery route. To 
designate the occupations we have used the more common 
abbreviations and contractions, as follows: Farmer — iar; 
carpenter — car; railroad service — R R ser; student, a member 
of an advanced institution of learning — stu; pupil, a member 
of a lower grade of schools (including all who have reached 
the age of five years)— pi; housework — ho; laborer — lab; 
physician and surgeon— phy & sur; clergyman— clerg; mer- 
chant— mer; teacher — tr; blacksmith — blk; clerk— cl; book- 
keeper — bk kpr; lawyer — law; mechanic— mech; machinist— 
mach; engineer— eng; maker — mkr; worker — wkr; work — wk; 
shoe shop work— shoe op; cotton or woolen mill operatives 
— mill op; weaver — weav; spinner — spin; electrician — elec; 
painter — ptr; carriage work — car wk; dress maker — dr mkr; 
insurance — ins; traveling salesman, or commercial traveler — 
sales, or coml trav; music teacher — mus tr; teamster — team; 
piano maker— pn mkr; shank maker— shk op; basket maker
